Chapter 258 Between Advance and retreat

It's enough, too much is not enough! After Li Xian calculated quickly, he finally made a decision. He didn't want to be hated by Gao Zong because of this matter - this case was judged by Li Xian. After such a big event, Li Xian could not get rid of the relationship. Once the prince finished playing, Li Xian could not escape the disaster of the nest, and this was obviously not Li Xian's. I'm happy to see the result. Besides, Li Xian is not sure that the backhand of the Empress Wu has not escaped. In case the palace is forced too hard and is counterattacked by the Empress Wu, the fun will be great.

"Brother prince, let's see each other."

Li Xian had a certain idea and no longer hesitated. When he was on Monday, he replied to Li Hong in a low voice.

"Well, that's fine."

Although Li Hong was still unwilling, he also knew that Li Xian's cooperation was not enough to get things done. When he heard Li Xian say so, he could only reluctantly accept it.

"Please be quiet, gentlemen." Li Hong was also a decisive person. Seeing that he could not encourage Li Xian to take risks with him, he was determined. He stood up, pressed his hands and shouted. The courtiers who were originally besieging Gao Hesheng quietly calmed down, retreated, and made a group of respectfully listening to the prince's instructions.

"All the lords, although there are some villains in the court who are rampant and illegal, they are just jumping beams and clowns. There are also the princes and other pillars. I don't know that there is a need to put the universe upside down. Fortunately, the king of England is aware of the treacherous sycophants. He should be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, eradicates adultery and eliminates evil, and return the purity of our society. The next day will be early morning. Please also ask the princes to write and talk about it. My father is wise, and he should have a decision. The prince was eloquous. In addition to talking loudly, he didn't forget to tie Li Xian to his carriage.

"I will obey the order of His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Most of the courtiers present were the prince's confidants, and they were only the prince's first. Most of the other neutral courtiers, such as Pei Xingjian, who came to the news, also hated the political vassals of the Empress Wu, and would not come forward to sing against the prince. For a moment, the prince's voice was evident.

This boy really has the orator's eloquence. Hey, it's a pity that when he meets that fierce old thief, your boy's dream of Mingjun is doomed to be broken. Li Xian lowered his head and seemed to be moved by the prince's words. In fact, he was sighing that Li Hong's life was not right. Although there was a trace of thought to help Li Hong sit firmly in the country, as soon as he thought of the viciousness and viciousness of the Queen Wu, his thoughts immediately faded away, just because Li Xian did not believe that Li Hong could fight martial arts at all. Later, even if Li Xian assisted him with all his strength, it was at most just to move back the time of Li Hong's defeat. The reason is very simple. Li Hong is not cruel enough. As far as today's matter is concerned, if Li Xian and Li Hong change positions, it will force the palace to the end. At worst, Li Xian, the chief judge, will be replaced. It's a sin.

"Seventh brother, please."

Li Hong was addicted to performance and didn't pay attention to what Li Xian felt at all. After a few words of conversation with several old prime ministers such as Yan Liben and Le Yanwei, he greeted Li Xian with a smile.

"Brother Prince, please."

At this point, Li Xian was too lazy to talk nonsense. After a blank answer, he was half behind the position of the prince. He walked silently all the way into Zetianmen and went straight to the Qianyuan Hall along the Gongzhong Avenue.

"My son and minister met my father and mother!"

As soon as the two brothers turned out of the screen at the gate of the bedroom, they saw Gao Zong and Wu Hou sitting on the couch side by side. The difference was that Gao Zong's face was gray and Wu Hou's face was indifferent. The two brothers did not dare to look closely and hurried forward and saluted each other.

"Hmm."

Gao Zong was obviously still angry. He didn't say much about his two sons's welcome, but just snorted from his nostrils.

"Let's all be flat, come and show the prince a seat."

Gao Zong didn't say anything, but as soon as Queen Wu saw the two brothers arrived, an indifferent face quickly showed a kind smile, raised his hand and shouted gently.

"I am waiting to thank my father and mother for your kindness."

Li Hong and Li Xian are both scheming people. They will not lose their manners because of Gao Zong's anger or the kindness of Queen Wu. They thanked each other. Several little eunuchs carried a brocade to invite the prince to take a seat, while Li Xian stood aside calmly and was not in a hurry to talk about anything.

"Tell me all about it. You are all making a lot of noise, huh?"

Li Xian, the person in charge, did not speak. Li Hong was anxious, but it was not easy to stand up. Obviously, Queen Wu had no intention to provoke the topic. The bedroom was strangely quiet, and the atmosphere was suffocating. At the end, Gao Zong couldn't calm down first. He glared at Li Xian and asked in a hateful voice. Tao.

Come on, I'm going to get angry with us! Even if Li Xian knew that there would be such "treatment" for a long time, but when he really met it, he couldn't help but feel a little resoldering. However, no matter how dissatisfied Li Xian was, he did not dare to say anything. He could only stand up, bowed, and reported in a sincere and frightened tone: "I report to my father, my son and I was ordered to judge the prisoner. Cha Yushi impeached one of the cases of Wu Min, Duke of Zhou. He did not dare to relax a little. It was just because of occasional physical discomfort, and it was a little slow for two days. Unexpectedly, he was shocked to hear that the imperial edict had changed greatly yesterday. Someone secretly assassinated Wu Minzhi with the intention of killing him. The son's life was afraid that it would change for a long time, so he had to force his sick body to hold a trial. Under this trial, Fang felt that the case was It's important. Unexpectedly, it's unexpected. Fortunately, the prince's brother supported it, and now the case has been revealed. Now Wu Min's confession is here. Please take a look at it.

"Well, stabbing? Why don't I know that there is such a thing?

As soon as Gao Zong heard the word "sassination", his eyes immediately widened. He was not in a hurry to reach out to receive the confession handed over by Li Xian, and asked with a surprised and confused face.

"To my father's words, the thing is like this. Last night... Relying on my father's kindness, the three thieves who assassinated have been killed. Only my son's bodyguard unfortunately died at the hands of the thief. My son has already had this chapter. I wanted to review the case and report it to my father, but I didn't expect that the case had taken a sharp turn down today, and my son's minister failed to report it in time. My father, there is a real deal of dereliction of duty, and I would like to ask my father to be punished. Li Xian bowed and briefly described the assassination of last night's prison fire with an uneasy face, hiding the relevant ambush and deployment, and never mentioning the fact that there were still two people alive.

"Well, it's really strange that I can't do it. Humph, Dali Temple is a lot of food. Fire, assassination, back like this, Hou Shanye, the minister of Dali Temple, has lost my hope!" After listening to Li Xian's explanation, Gao Zong's anger immediately moved to the officials of Dali Temple and cursed mercilessly.

"Father Mingjian, Hou Shanye is deeply involved in one of Wu Min's cases, and his ministers have detained him. The existing Wu Min's confession, account books and other evidence are here. Please investigate in detail!" Li Xian is a person who has been refined to the bone marrow. At this time, Gao Zong turned his anger to the head of Dali Temple, immediately hit the snake with the stick, and rudely fell into the well.

"Hmm?"

Gao Zong scolded, but he never expected that such an important minister as Hou Shanye was really involved in Wu Min's case. As soon as he heard Li Xian say so affirmation, he was stunned. He looked at Li Xian suspiciously. Seeing that Li Xian looked serious, not like lying, the anger in his heart immediately surged up and copied Li Xian. The thick stack of documents in his hand turned over quickly. The more I looked at it, the more gloomy my face became. At the end, I couldn't help swearing, "Mei Niang, look, take a good look, this is your good nephew, hum, I'm so angry, bastard!"

"Your Majesty is angry. Min is young and ignorant. There must be a dissolute/ssuming skeleton. His sin is unforgivable. When it comes to the formation of the party and private life, I think that Min should have no courage. The people in the court are just looking at Min's favor and intending to make friends with him. It is also possible to send some property and things to flatter him. Now that he has committed such a crime, I am a concubine. If you don't dare to cover it up, everything will be done according to the law. Queen Wu took over the confession and other things handed over by Gao Zong, but she was not in a hurry to look through it. Instead, she gently persuaded her. It was clear that she wanted to sacrifice one of He Lanmin to save the party involved in the case.

"Father, my son and minister think that what my mother said is reasonable. The sensitive person deserves it, but all the courtiers do not expose their evil, but flatter them, which is really helpful for the suspicion of abuse. And most of the ministers involved in the case are new ministers. The family background is not rich, but the money and things they give are really amazing. If there is no intention in it, I'm afraid it is difficult. You should delve into it." As soon as Queen Wu's voice fell, the prince immediately said rudely. It was another intention to bite the minister involved in the case to make friends with He Lanmin, which also showed his attitude of chasing him to the end.

"This... Well, Xian'er, you are the main judge. Do you care much about this case?"

Although Gao Zongren is cowardly, he is not stupid. At this time, how can he not know that the housework between Queen Wu and the prince has reached the point of incompatibility between water and fire? In addition to the headache, he really doesn't know how to deal with it. After hesitating for a while, he turned his eyes to Li Xian, and kicked the ball to Li with a big foot. Under the obvious feet.

"Don't panic. It's good to say that your mother and your father will make the decision for you."

Waiting for Li Xian to speak, Queen Wu had already said something. Her tone was gentle, but it was full of threats.

"What the mother said is very true. Since the seventh brother is the main judge, he should make a decision. No matter how difficult it is, with the father and the emperor, the seventh brother does not need to worry."

As soon as Queen Wu's voice fell, the prince immediately followed without hesitation, which made it clear that he was fighting with Queen Wu.

Well, this time, we dare to be the focus! In the face of everyone's expectant eyes, Li Xian's heart was secretly bitter. Obviously, it was impossible not to answer. There was a slight mistake between advance and retreat, and his fun was not small. Fortunately, before entering the palace, Li Xian had calculated the appearance of this scene. He would not be too nervous. Then he meditated and said, "In my father's words, I thought Wu Sensitive people are also contemptuous, and their deeds are also evil. Although death is not enough to punish their sins, they should think about the decency of the heavenly family. They should be punished for the absence of family property and the punishment of 3,000 miles. The rest of the ministers and workers involved in the case, no matter from whomever the suspicion of helping Zhou is abusive, is inevitable. In addition, bribery is not to be forgiven. According to the law, there should be derogatory or appropriate.

Li Xian's words clearly favored Li Hong's side, but he never did it. There was a lot of room for maneuver, but the specific way to grasp it was very subtle. It can be said that he was single-minded. For a moment, all the people in the room fell silent and meditated...< /P>
